Trends in Hong Kong
What's the deal with the updated Chinese visa process for Hong Kong permanent residents?
I'm a HKPR as I've lived in Hong Kong for many years. I also carry a Canadian passport. In the olden days, if we wanted to visit China, we'd have to get a visa (single or multi entry) and… more
The new permit system is streamlined. You'll need your HKID, but they might want to see your Canadian passport as proof of identity. Don't expect to use just your HKID and the permit for crossing; you'll likely still need your passport for border control. Think of the permit as authorization, not a replacement for standard travel documents.
Central's Hidden Lanes
I spent a week exploring Central, Hong Kong island, totally lost in its maze of tiny side streets. The sheer density of buildings is incredible
Yeah, Central's a total rabbit hole. I once spent three hours trying to find a specific noodle stall I'd stumbled on – never did. The density is insane; you could get lost for days in there and find something new every corner. Seriously though, pack snacks. You'll need 'em.
Three hours?! Wow. That's dedication (or maybe just stubbornness!). I figured it would be dense, but three hours is a whole other level. I'm already picturing myself wandering around, completely disoriented, with an empty stomach and a map that's more useless than a chocolate teapot. Snacks are definitely going on the packing list. Thanks for the heads-up!
